About a year and a half back, I bought a new Dodge 2500 HD with Cummins diesel/6 speed, 4WD, 4 door, power everything, towing package, and all the other ect.'s.... My son bought one almost identical, except his is a gasser (hemi/auto) 6 months later, he got a company truck. ('05 Dodge 3500 diesel) Then my wifes car got wiped out in a wreck. We bought Jasons truck from him for the Mrs. to drive. Both trucks are loaded. Before that, I always bought the plainest, cheapest truck I could find. I wouldn't trade backwards for love, nor money! I average around 55,000 miles per year on my truck. I spend a LOT of time in it. WHY NOT HAVE A NICE ONE? I use mine as a truck. It drags around a 25' gooseneck, with a usual load of about 10,000LBS. Nothing like having a COMFORTABLE ride that'll do what a truck should do. We take trips in the winter. A couple of the grandkids usually go along. The bigger cab is nice to say the least. If I didn't have the 4 door cab, I'd need a car to go along with the truck. How would that be any cheaper? All in all, I'm pleased. I don't expect EVERYONE to run out and buy a $45,000 "cowboy cadillac", but I plan on buying ANOTHER someday when this one is tired and ready to be put out to pasture.

We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
